Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the Archbishopric of Trier is that it features an image of Philip Christopher of Sötern, who was the Archbishop of Trier from 1623 to 1644. The coin was minted during his reign, and it is believed that the image of the Archbishop on the coin was meant to symbolize the power and authority of the church during that time.
